Educational Programs
Lifelong Learning for Every Age
Our education programming is designed to inspire, raise, and fuel the imaginations of young Montana musicians. We use music to ignite the spark for a continuing quest for knowledge. Special programs are geared towards our younger audiences who might not be ready to sit through two hours of a classical concert but who cannot wait to meet musicians or even play some instruments at an instrument petting zoo.
Introduce younger children to music with Symphony Storytime, a short story-based music program to engage children, especially ages 3-5, through music.
Symphony Storytime
Designed for students in kindergarten through third grade, each year’s KinderKonzert program cyclically features a different instrument family so students can interact with a majority of the orchestra by the time they enter upper elementary school.
KinderKonzerts
Each year, local fourth graders experience the power of live symphonic music at a concert tailored exclusively to them.
Fourth Grade Concert
The Bozeman Symphony provides artists to support Montana State University and school district-hosted Masterclasses to enhance students’ learning.
Masterclasses
Bozeman Symphony musicians play alongside student musicians in support of instrument learning and skills development. Side-by-sides are a fun, engaging, hands-on way to inspire and motivate students (and our BSO musicians)!
